Picnik.com- get creative with your photos

What it is:
Picnik is photo editing online, in your browser. It gives real people photo editing superpowers. It’s fast, easy, and offers tons of powerful tools, artistic effects, stickers, frames, touch-ups, scrapbooking tools and more. And that’s all for free. There’s even more available for Picnik Premium members: More tools, advanced effects, seasonal content all year long and more! Picnik launched in September 2007 and in the past few years has amassed millions of happy fans on the site, through Facebook, embedded in Flickr, Picasa, Yahoo! Mail, and dozens of our other API partners.

There were no real issues with this site, although it is very difficult to find your saved work. However, I was rather worried about the security risks posed by this site, because it kept trying to store data on my computer. I would click over and over again on the "deny" button, and it kept trying-sometimes for a minute or more. It has some cool features, but most require paid membership. The free stuff is mostly kind of lame. I did have real difficulty finding the example photo I made. I didn't really like this website all that much.

This is the collage I made on Picnik. Keep in mind I wasn't trying particularly hard to have it make sense, and I threw stuff on it more or less randomly. My main goal was just to display the different features. Yours could be a lot better than than this. You won't have a great choice of templates, though.

A decent youtube tutorial, although it's a little long.
